Abstract

The applications of Internet technology to tourism have led to the emergence of web marketing, which provides tourism organizations with a new opportunity to interact directly with stake holders. Although national tourism organizations [NTOs] have been using the Internet to promote their destinations and develop integral and consumer focused marketing programs, prior research on web marketing development in NTOs is limited. This paper reports on a study which formulated a marketing process framework for city-based NTOs. The framework was then applied to the NTO websites in Singapore and Hong Kong, two primary city-based travel destinations in Asia. Managerial implications for the success of web marketing are also provided.
